Singapore is a small 445 square mile island nestled between Malaysia and Indonesia. But what it lacks in size it makes up for with cutting edge architectural designs. Here is my view of Singapore’s cutting edge architecture…

Since winning her independence just a short 50 years ago, Singapore has made it her business to keep up with the rest of the world by hiring some of the world’s most renown architects to design some of the most beautiful sky lines.

These photos depict the new and beautiful architectural marvels of Singapore and also incorporates some of the old beauty that can still be found in this small but bustling country.
